You know, the reason I love it is – probably two reasons. I have great clients. Every day, people: “What does it mean, being a lawyer?” You’re talking to your clients every day, and I have really great people I talk to every day. I like ‘em. We hang out; we talk.

And the second part is my practice has really evolved. I started out being a trial lawyer. I was in court all the time, seeing the elephant fighting – it was great. I did contracts, and real estate disputes, and anti-trust, and securities.

And then, my clients – my real estate and construction clients – started saying, “You know, will you look at this contract? Look at that contract?” Next thing I know, I’m doing a lot of real estate construction contract work. And then, I started doing general corporate work for a whole bunch of my other clients, and it keeps evolving over time.

And that evolution – the complexity, and the people I’m with – is what I really enjoy. And so, every day, my eyes pop open at 4:30 AM and I’m here, and I’m – my clients all laugh, ‘cause we talk at, like, 6:30 AM. And by the way, at 4:00 PM, I’m outta here. I’m going to play, and work out.

And I’m a really lucky guy. I love what I do.
